About
Having known of soprano Laura Strickling for some time, I finally met her in person at a mutual friend’s house concert in Oak Park. At that time she’d already released the first instalment of 40@40, a project to commission and record new art song with pianist Daniel Schlosberg. She told me she wanted the second instalment to have the title “Again”, but didn’t yet have a title track, as it were. Not long afterwards I started spinning a whole world from a single word repeated, having fun with switching between its two standard pronunciations.
Also, this song made Laura's mother cry at its premiere. Apparently I did something right.
